SI Swimsuit cover models Gayle King and Kate Upton practically broke the internet last week when both women appeared on the front of the 2024 issue, which marks the publication’s 60th anniversary.

The supermodel, who has posed for the brand seven separate years now, and the CBS Mornings cohost traveled to sunny Mexico with photographer Yu Tsai for their photo shoots. The SI Swimsuit fashion team wanted to accent the summery, laid-back and lively vibes of the location, so they pulled tons of colorful, neon pieces with fun prints and cute cut-outs. The suits were then paired with over-the-top jewelry, all inspired by the flashy, sporty swim editorials from the 1980s.

While on location, Upton, 31, and King, 69, tapped luxury Parisian swimwear brand Eres for one of their many magnificent looks, which you can shop below.
